Suggests to use the static <code>Integer.compare()</code> method and similar methods where more verbose or less efficient constructs are
used. For example, <code>x &gt; y ? 1 : x &lt; y ? -1 : 0</code> or <code>Integer.valueOf(x).compareTo(y)</code> could be
replaced with <code>Integer.compare(x, y)</code>. If <code>x</code> and <code>y</code> are already boxed integers, then
<code>x.compareTo(y)</code> is suggested.

<p><code>Double.compare</code> and <code>Float.compare</code> methods appeared in Java 1.4, methods for other primitive types
   are available since Java 1.7</p>
